Book Editing
Do you need your book critiqued and edited? In recent years, publisher consolidation and increased competition (from both independent and published authors) have made it even harder for writers to succeed. More than ever, critical feedback and revision play a crucial role in how well a book does. From sentence composition and figurative language to plot pacing and characterization, Manuscript Mentoring’s extensive book editing service can help you fulfil your true writing potential.

Testimonials
See why writers choose Manuscript Mentoring
"I could not be more pleased with Manuscript Mentoring’s edits and the resulting book they helped me produce. The company’s edits and feedback helped me trim over 100,000 words from my original book, which made the story not only leaner, but more cohesive and much more enjoyable. Their edits helped me to land my first publishing contract with TouchPoint Press. Manuscript Mentoring’s communication is excellent, and responses to questions and concerns are always prompt. With every edit they make, they also include helpful explanations. This not only corrects issues in the manuscript, but it also teaches you a lot. I would gladly hire Manuscript Mentoring again for my next novel."
